*Everyone heard the noise and looked around, Ash looked up. The Moon wasn't normal or Green however.*

Mitsuru: What!? The Dark Hour?

Minato: How? It can't be that! This is a different world, But if it can. Then it might be... Magic?

Ash: Don't worry, We have to fight these Together, What's the worse that can happen?

Minako: You don't want to know, It's pure hell...

Ken: It's where all the Shadows come out and attack you. It's not easy living like this.

Akihiko: Like Makoto getting poisoned by a Stunky.

Queen: Ugh, Don't bring that up!

Chie: What was the Stunky like? What type of animal is it?

Morgana: Hmm. I sense something's up, What is it?

Teddie: My nose smells danger. Where is it coming from?

Koromaru: Grrr...

Aigis: Koromaru says "I sense multiple Shadows possessing Pokemon."

Junpei: Holy Shit, For Real!?

Brock; I don't like where this is going...

Dawn: Same here, Shadows possessing Pokemon? Why?

Ash: Possessing Innocent Pokemon!? That's crossing the line for me!

Rise: Shouldn't you take it easy Ash? You don't want to waste energy very quickly.

Yu: I'm with Rise, We don't Shadows taking your power. Let us handle it, We can do it for you.

Naoto: Senpai is right, Upon my cease it would be best if you stayed back. We can do this.

Ash: I've stayed back long enough, It's best you stay back.

Minato: Aw shit, Here we go again.

Ken: Yep, He's gonna do reckless things...

Joker: Yippee Ki Yay...

Panther: Hey! Slow down Ash! Wait for all of us to fight!

*Ash slowly looked around. He shrugged and waves a Good signal. Up ahead, Everyone sees a Shadow Gallade, Malmar, Bisharp, Gengar, Raichu and Tyranitar surround an Innocent Weavile.*

Weavile: Weav? Ile?

Tyranitar: TAR! Tyranitar!

Malmar: Malmar, Mar.

Raichu: Rai, Rai!

Yu: What the hell?

Rise: Poor Weavile, What are they doing to it?

Minato: Consulting it? What else?

Minako: Yikes, Looks like he's in trouble!

Mitsuru: Wait, What are you planning?

Ken: Oh boy, Minako-San are you really going to save him!?

Youske: I don't like where this is going. Maybe we should plan on taking what down and protecting the In-

Chie: And... There she goes...

Rise: What!?

Aigis: Minako-San! Don't go!

Joker: No, Don't drag yourself into this mess!

Skull: Is she mad!?

Minako: Orpheus! Agilao!

*A Tyranitar steps in front of the Gallade, It takes the Agilao attack and smirks.*

Naoto: That spells bad!

Shinjiro: Sometimes she's nuts, And she took it to the extreme.

Brock: Now she is playing hero. Funny enough for me.

Crow: Robin Hood! Kouha!

*Robin Hood takes down Tyranitar with one Kouha. It left the other Shadow Pokemon open.*

Morgana: Zorro! Garu!

Yu: Izanagi! Mazio!

Chie: Tomoe! Bufu!

*Garu knocks down the Gallade, Malmar and Raichu get frozen on the Bufu and The other Pokemon take the Mazio, But they didn't fall down.*

Yukiko: WHAT!?

Ash: There different, Normally there weak to something else but this... This isn't what I expected.

Noir: What can it mean? That their weak points aren't available to hit with our Persona's?

Dawn: Yes, This spells trouble for all of us.

Azelf: Your my chosen one, Tell me what I can do!

Ash: Oh um...Pikachu, Thunderbolt! Azelf, Shadow Ball!

Dawn: Piplup, Hydro Pump! Mesprit, Extrasensory!

*Both Lake Guardians along with Pikachu and Piplup damaged the Shadow Pokemon. Then Gallade did Psycho Cut, But it was all Black! It was Shadow Cut!*

Ash: Dodge it!

*Everyone avoids Shadow Cut as the Shadow Pokemon did more attacks, Then they realized that something was off.*

Rise: I don't get it, How do some of these Shadows have types that they can't be weak against?

Oracle: Maybe it's because the Pokemon world effects the Typing that can't make our Persona's hurt them. Maybe it's something else, But what?

Shinjiro: Ugh, Damn Bastards won't go down! What a Pain in the Ass.

Brock: Come here Weavile! We won't hurt you!

Weavile: Weavile!? Weav!

Aigis: It appears to say. "Me come to you!? Never!"

Kanji: Fine then, Let's leave him to be killed.

Rise: Kanji! The Weavile is nearing itself of dying! What do you mean?

Chie: Come on, We won't hurt you badly! Just come to us!

Yukiko: Please, We won't harm you!

Panther: How will we not make it look like we won't harm it?

Queen: It's me isn't it? Fine, Johanna! Help everyone out with Mafrei!

Rise: Himiko, Help them out too. Do Maragion!

*Himiko and Johanna charge at the Shadow Pokemon. At the same time, Weavile looks around, Then makes a dash to the Group. He makes it there safely as he could.*

Youske: Don't worry, We'll protect you. Run that way! *Points South.*

Junpei: Go fast though! We can't hold them back much longer!

*Weavile races south, As the Persona Group seems to have gotten more Tired on fighting the Shadow Pokemon.*

Rise: How long can they stand...? Himiko is being tired out!

Yu: Ngh! That annoying Malmar is confusing Izanagi!

Joker: I don't think any Psychic, Fire attacks or Electric Persona Attacks can hurt these Pokemon!

Fuuka: You have to retreat! This Power level is too strong to handle for you!

Ken: We need to give everyone a chance to run back to the town. But how?

Ash: Does someone have Megidoloan? That can wipe them out easy!

Minato: I do! Orpheus! Megidoloan!

*Minato summons Orpheus as he uses Megidoloan on the Shadow Pokemon. Everyone flees out of the woods and back to the Town.*

Ash: Damnit. How are shadow Pokemon this strong!?

Mitsuru: Thats what the dark hour is based off of. Shadow Pokemon, Surely they are strong.

Minako: Yup, Unlike someone else who hated us cause of their Power.

Youske: Best to rest, Then we can plan tomorrow. Let's get some time before setting off tomorrow.

Naoto: Agreed, We did our best but that was it.

Ash: I'll see you all tomorrow, That's for sure.
